To Guest 9.31a.m. 16 Feb I've been reading your posts with interest.

You seem to have been posting quite a lot and making many useful points. I think I recognise your style of writing in other posts on the forum. But I'm not sure that it's you. Why not identify yourself in some way so that readers can string together what you are saying in its entirety rather than letting each individual post stand on its own merits?

I realise that any guest label is open to imitators and abusers, but at the moment anything that you say is regarded in the same way as any post by any passing trolling or disruptive guest. You spend quite a lot of time composing missives with many cogent points but the effect is wrecked by any passing trouble making clown who posts a few messages later in whatever thread and also uses the simple "guest" tag.

More generally I've been wondering about the whole guest situation. "There must be some way out of here said the Joker to the thief". Would it be possible to generate random names / numbers / labels for guest posters each time they posted? They could then refer to the temporary name in subsequent posts. I realise that is open to abuse but isn't everything if people are really determined to cause trouble?
